Shadow Zone

By Liath

On the fringe of existance
Surrounded by yourself
Only popular in your head

To walk the path of your shadow
Laid out upon the paved way
Eternally a follower
Knowing not your self

How I long to be a shadow
Towed around behind me
Shown only what is like it
Together, alone in the darkness

I wish to be my shadow
To know what I really am
For without a shadow
I am nothing

You must always have a shadow
Without it you are fake
Just like your reflection in a puddle
It shows the opposite

Without two sides to a whole
The threads of existance would unravel

There are parts to all pieces
Of things in life

    it seems as if some of this is forced into the poem and doesn't flow well, sometimes you have to let the poem take its own course
